Political analyst James Chin has underlined the importance of a clear timetable for the succession plan between Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and PKR president Anwar Ibrahim to mitigate the destabilising impact on Malaysian politics.
Chin, who is University of Tasmania's director of the Asia Institute, said the reasons for such an agreement are clear – Mahathir's advanced age. Chin said the persistent chatter about Anwar's ability to ascend to the top job is having a destabilising impact on Malaysian politics. “As quickly as practical, Mahathir should appoint Anwar as deputy prime minister and the official number two in the administration, sending a powerful signal to the world that the succession is on track.
“While there is no constitutional provision for secession, there is a compelling precedent: in 1965, Singapore separated from the Malaysian federation through a special act of parliament,” he added.
anwaribrahim Yes please. Let history repeat itself.
anwaribrahim Give the old man some space and rooms to carry out reforms. After the so called coup, Tun M needs to plan counter attack to preserve the integrity of the Constitution, the Parliament and democracy!
anwaribrahim Did Anwar Ibrahim say he wanted to become Prime Minister? No. So shut the hell up. For now, it is Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail who will become Prime Minister after Dr. Mahathir.
